With regards to people importing, this has always been an option, but now with the Internet, it makes it easier. The only way to deter this kind of thing is to impose high fines on goods found to be circumventing vat.
If you are buying a Camera in HK for £1000, but in this country it is £1300, then yes at this moment in time some would probably go the HK route, but if you faced the possibility of having to pay a rather large fine, plus tax and import duty, then i'm sure that would dry up the supply chain some what.
how would you enforce your internet tax when people start ordering from French/German/Dutch Internet retailers?
